***Official*** India in New Zealand 2013/14

[OverratedSanity]

I'm not saying I'm glad it happened. It's horrible for cricket, and I want India to win, which I think is very very tough now, but it just highlights how stupid Sachin, Dhoni and BCCI are to refuse using it. Honestly, if **** like this doesn't happen, they will NEVER agree to it. That's all.

Unless we get a few horrible decisions in tight situations, our stand will never change. No other scenario which will make them budge. It's terrible but it was inevitable really.

Honestly thought it looked out live. The inside edge was hard to see/hear, I think most umpires would have given that tbh. This is where you need the 'you know what'

Looked very iffy tbh. It's always going to be dicey when the bat is jammed in like that

 

[JBH001]

Bit of a pity really. With Rahane there and looking good the game may have gone all the way. As it is, NZ are now well in charge (barring a minor miracle).

In situations like this I'm more afraid they'll ignore it and end up holding it against Rahane.

Auckland might get ****ty crowds, but they have definitely turned on the excitement the last 2 tests.

 

[Jono]

Dhoni. Do something in test cricket for once please.

Thanks.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Who are the scheduled umpires for the 2nd Test?

 

[benchmark00]

Kohli. Do something in test cricket for once please.

Thanks.

Turning on his boi.

That's different to laughing at it and saying its your favourite thing in a tight test match.

Hoping something ruins the game to go against the BCCI.

 

[benchmark00]

NZ are lucky they can't get Tony Hill in test matches.

 

[Jono]

Turning on his boi.

WTF. FMD I'm rattled. Going to shower.

 

[Athlai]

Some quality bowling we've seen in that session. Barring Sodhi everyone was on form. Southee and Wagner were bloody good and that Boult over was exactly what we wanted to see.

More likely that they'll ignore it and end up holding it against Davis. If India lose this test, I imagine it'll be sometime before we see him umpiring in a test match again.

 

[Athlai]

**** we've had a lot of cracking Test matches since around 2009.

Reminds me of the Perth Test where that Zimbabwean **** umpire cost NZ the win. I held that against him for a long time.

 

[Pothas]

Yeah grates. Not cricket fans I guess.

Now this is genuinely one of the worst lines going around.

 

[Blocky]

Southee to take one in his first over.

 

[Zinzan]

Boulteh!!

Are we in this yet Zinners?

A microscopic hint of sniff through an iron wall.
